Hi Kyle,

Glad to hear you are doing better. You out of the pond/aquarium building game? How about your dattos? I have a '71 510 that I need to find some time (and $$$) to work on.

Ive built a few of em....
First was a L20b with NISMO FIA race head, titanium valvetrain, very fancy balanced internals, and one GIANT cam, breathing through dual 50mm Mikuni Sidedrafts. Little thing reved to 10,000RPM! NISMO 280zx 5speed race tranny
215HP

NAPZ 2.3 Franken Stroker with all the goodies, dual 48mm Webber Sidedrafts
195HP Torque MONSTER!

KA2.4DE With a custom header, big cams, JE pistons 11.3-1, Ferra valvetrain, custom plenum
235HP

69 Chevy Zapper 302, full race engine, 8500RPM redline to be safe, TH400 Road Race tranny at first, later a TKO 5 Speed Road Race tranny
425WHP poop your pants fast (12"wide GoodYear Qualifers all 4 corners)

Next one will be a boxflared semi tube frame with a heavily worked carburated LS7 with TKO Road Race 5speed
Est650WHP GTO Road Race Competition Car

Ive built lots of turbo motors, but never in my 510's...

Im really hoping to drop a SR20DET into mine...from what I hear it shouldn't be too hard for a beginner backyard mechanic like myself.

that all depends on how "beginer" you are...?
Ive put 2 of them in 510's and one in a 240sx. Ive also fabricated parts for one in a GtiR. They are a fairly basic swap if you have the right parts, its when you do a whole makeover that they can get complicated and very pricey!!!
